Hundreds of children and their parents participated today. Thanks to our great volunteers, sponsors, contributors, and the mayors who walked to promote children's health.Thanks to the River to River Runners Club and major sponsor Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH).Apologies to the last group of young people who did not get to complete their 1600 meter run and the adult-child relay teams. Our priority was to insure your safety, and when the weather turned bad, it was my duty to stop the event.

Next year, we'll start with the adult-child relay race. So hold on to the relay batons you received today and practice.
